At the moment the current lazarus doesn't compile here for trunk, not 
even on raspberry. A couple of days ago it did.
But this is today. I will put in a bug report if I checked my build 
stup, can reproduce it and if so  isn't fixed within two days or so. 
Most of the time it will.
You probably definitely must use trunk to get proper results for arm. 
Lot's of changes/improvements.
